Summary
Uncontrolled eviction in the pending sign-in tables of the REST API in Progressive Robot hMailServer from 6.3.4 before 6.3.6 lets a remote unauthenticated attacker make other users' OpenID Connect, SAML and passkey sign-ins fail. The routes that start single sign-on and passkey challenges are reachable without authentication and store pending state in bounded tables that drop the oldest entry when full, so an attacker who keeps starting sign-ins pushes other users' pending sign-ins out before they return. Single sign-on and passkey sign-in are denied for as long as the requests continue.

Description from the CNA
Uncontrolled eviction in the pending sign-in tables of the REST API in Progressive Robot hMailServer 6.3.4 and 6.3.5 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to make other users' OpenID Connect, SAML and passkey sign-ins fail. The routes that start a single sign-on and hand out a passkey sign-in challenge are reached without authentication and stored pending state in bounded tables that dropped their oldest entry when full, whoever had started it. An attacker who starts sign-ins a few times a second (about a hundred a second for passkeys) pushes every other user's pending sign-in out of the table before that user's browser returns, denying single sign-on and passkey sign-in for as long as the requests continue.
